One of the problems with universal tablet keyboard cases like this one is that it's hard to make them elegant. This case fits many 9 to 10 inch tablets in its adjustable mechanism but due to the fact that every tablet will have a different width, screen size, aspect ratio, etc. it turns out to be a very clunky implementation. It did fit both my very thin iPad 9.7" device and a much larger and thicker 10" Windows tablet without issues (although the Windows tablet was sticking out slightly from the side of the case when closed up.
The folio holds itself together with an elastic strap that is built into the case. That keeps it from flopping it around while transporting but the sides are pretty much wide open - especially when using a thin tablet like an iPad. The keyboard portion is rigid enough for lap use but the angle of the tablet in that use case doesn't make for a comfortable viewing experience. I found it works much better on a desk.
I was surprised that I was able to type accurately with the keyboard even though it has small chiclet style keys. The keys are well spaced with very deep travel that should help touch typers like me feel their way around the keyboard easily.
Unlike other Logitech bluetooth keyboards this one can only be paired up with one device at a time. Some of their other keyboards have a switch that remembers two or more devices to prevent having to re-pair with every tablet swap. It's not rechargeable but uses a pair of coin batteries that should last about a year give or take with moderate usage.
Bottom line: if you have multiple 9 or 10 inch tablets this will work with them and the keyboard is decent. The downside is that it's ugly, clunky and does not provide much protection.
